Ex-Russian naval officer transferred $172 mln to the U.S.
09.03.2011
FBI hunted him out last year in the course of inquiry into the case of numerous "paper" corporations opened in Oregon. According to investigators, he had been illegally transferring money from his house. 69-year old naval veteran had conducted over 4 200 online operations and transferred somewhat $172 mln.
Money was transferred from Russia to several American banks. However, 69-year old Kaganov had no money transfer license. He was not registered in the US Treasury Department either.
Now the ex-naval officer can be imprisoned for up to five years and fined up to $250,000. However, the term can be shortened to 1.5 years in exchange for admission. Money transferred by former Russian naval officer had no criminal origin.
